Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is a common condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding facial muscles. The TMJ acts as a sliding hinge, connecting the jawbone to the skull and allowing for essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. This joint is unique because it combines both hinge and sliding motions, making it more complex and susceptible to dysfunction. When the TMJ misaligns anterior and inferior, it can cause jaw pain, discomfort, and restricted movement, affecting the structure of the face, impacting eating and communication, and even restricting the airway and proper breathing patterns.
